I wish people would just understand that players win the games and they also lose them.


So again I must ask. If it's all on the players and the coaches can't do anything about how the players perform, then what are the coaches supposed be doing? Why do we have them? What is their job?

When your Senior pitcher, who has also started every year since his freshman year?, starts throwing meatballs, what the frick are you suppose to do?


That's my question. What does a coach do? Why do we pay them?

Dunn went out there multiple times to calm him down and help him out


Why? If the premise is that there's nothing a coach can do to affect the players' performance, why would he go out and talk to him?

I just don't think that this series is a good indicator of what this team is capable of. I also don't think you can blame the series loss on CPM. The hitting has to get better. I've never seen a team this inept at the plate. They watch hanging breaking balls but swing at fastballs 2 inches off the plate. It's maddening to watch.


I am not saying he should be fired but PM is directly responsible for the hitting. He took the easy way out when replacing Canizaro. Promoting someone who by appearances isn't ready for such a job.

We are 12th in the conference with a 5.04 team ERA.

Looks great except we have the hardest part of our schedule outside of Bammer.
SC is going to kill our hitters.
Auburn is gonna kill our pitchers and hitters
Then there's State. Maybe win that series. Maybe.

There's MAYBE 7 -8 wins there unless one of those teams has injuries OR we somehow learn to hit and pitch.

Meh, Ole Miss also had the best SEC pitching staff before they played LSU. I feel like USCe has given up on Holbrook.

Plus, LSU plays tremendously better at home than on the road, so saying Auburn will kill us isn't smart.

MSU is good no doubt, but they've got the same overall record as us but with an easier schedule. This weekend vs Auburn will tell a lot about MSU. We'll see.

Just to be clear, I don't want CPM fired. I want him to do his fricking job and quit treating our coaching staff as patronage.

As much as I would like to blame the hitting and CPM, what about the fricking pitching?


So we can't hit. We also can't pitch. But yeah, definitely not the coaches fault.

I just don't think firing a head coach is always the answer especially when the problems we are having stem from non-clutch hitting and bad pitching.

So we suck in both phases of the game but it's not the coaches fault....

We all read and watch you soil yourself every time someone says anything negative about you favorite leg to hump. So if it's OK with you I would just as soon you do a little self analysis and curb propensity to put your HUMPINESS on display here for all to see. I am embarrassed for you.

So is watching you repeatedly erroneously sitting up the header for baseball in-game threads. If you are going to lecture people at least do this aspect correctly. Road team first, home team second. The way you do it makes it confusing as heck.

Give it up. Some of these people would have fired skip after he failed to win an NC in 94 and 95 and probably would fired Saban for losing to Iowa.

Bump so that Russian can identify those that he claims CPM interviewed for the Cannizaro opening.

Fine. Keep doing it sloppy and lazy. Evidently you appreciate those who just go through the motions.
